I found out yesterday has been refinished (strike two...my thoughts on refinishing are biased based on many years of collecting Winchesters)




British doubles aren't Winchesters or Colts. Correctly done, refinishing doesn't impact their value much. These are handmade guns that were usually periodically returned to the makers for maintenance, which included seeing to a worn finish when needed. Poorly done, it kills 'em as dead as it does a collector grade Winchester. Sometimes the damage from an incorrect refinish can be corrected, and sometimes it can't. The key is knowing what "correctly done" means.

I'll bet that ballistically the .33 WCF, .35 WCF, .30-'03 GOV'T, .405 WCF, etc. are close to many of the medium-bore DR's




Most of the British mediums use longer, heavier for caliber bullets than the Win rounds. While it's usually possible to get 'em to regulate with lighter bullets, I've never seen the need. The long, heavy bullets are part of why they're so much more effective than paper ballistics might make you think. Penetration and knock-down of a 300 grain .366" RN soft at 1950 fps is impressive.
